Fender American Original Stratocaster

The American Original Stratocaster lineup presents two hair-raising models. First, the American Original '50s Stratocaster. It features an Alder body and a thick Soft-V maple neck. Its 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard features 21 Vintage Tall frets. Wax-potted Pure Vintage '59 single-coil Stratocaster pickups, Formvar-coated coil wire, cloth-covered output wires, fiber bobbin construction and AlNiCo 5 magnets, as well as Pure Vintage Single Line Fender Deluxe tuners, a Pure Vintage 6-Saddle Synchronized Tremolo bridge, a 1-ply eggshell pickguard and eggshell volume and tone control knobs round out the American Original '50s Strat's period-inspired appointments.

Meanwhile, the '60s Strat features Fender Pure Vintage '65 Gray-Bottom single-coil Strat pickups. Its period-inspired specs include fiber bobbin construction and AlNiCo 5 magnets, enamel-coated coil wire and cloth-covered output wires. Like in the '50s Strat, it features a 5-position blade pickup selector. The American Original '60s Strat features an Alder body and a thick-C maple neck, 9.5-inch radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, and 21 Vintage Tall frets. You'll also find Pure Vintage Single Line Fender Deluxe tuners, a Pure Vintage 6-Saddle Synchronized Tremolo bridge, a 3-ply mint green pickguard and aged white volume and tone control knobs.
